Download or read book Water Governance and Crime Issues written by Katja Eman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of crimes involving water, including pollution, illegal dumping, and supply chain disruption from a criminological perspective. It examines a multifaceted issue from a comparative policy perspective supplemented with individual case studies to provide insights on the magnitude of the problem as well as possible solutions and policy recommendations. As growing populations and economic sectors continue to put unprecedented pressures on water supplies, the book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the problem in order to ensure the sustainability, long-term viability, and equitable use of this essential resource. The first part of the volume examines criminological and policy perspectives, including an overview of regulatory approaches, privatization of water resources, and the scope of the criminal problem in this area. The second part presents informative case studies from a variety of different regional and social contexts. Finally, the editors present an outlook in policy and enforcement improvements. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology, criminal justice, public policy, and comparative law, as well as those studying environmental regulations and sustainability. Water, Governance and Crime Issues is a much needed addition to the growing original contributions of green criminology. This volume captures the complex landscape of water crimes, including the numerous disparities and inequalities of there being too much water in some places and too little in others amongst the many complexities. The edited collection also covers conceptual issues (i.e. water as a human right) as well as practical hurdles (i.e. the challenges in keeping statistics on offences) and real world examples. Many of the chapters are likely to introduce readers to new issues and the interplay with a myriad of traditional problems – corruption, organised crime, privatisation, and terrorism. I agree with the editors and authors that water crime issues deserve further scientific study and this provides a solid starting point. -Dr. Tanya Wyatt, University of Northumbria Population growth and urbanization, more frequent droughts due to climate change, the privatization of and unequal access to water resources and increasing water pollution are just some of the contemporary and future challenges relating to water crimes. Water, Governance and Crime Issues speaks to the scientific relevance of water for (green) criminology as well as the policy implications of water crimes. Several of the cases in this edited book refer to countries and regions we do not usually hear about and yet are perfect illustrations of the challenges faced in governing and studying water crimes. -Dr. Lieselot Bisschop, Erasmus School of Law

Download or read book Protecci n penal del territorio y el urbanismo written by Martínez Rodríguez, José Antonio and published by J.M Bosch. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este trabajo de investigación se analizan minuciosamente el artículo 319 del Código penal, dedicado a los delitos sobre la ordenación del territorio y el urbanismo, integrado en el Capitulo I del Título XVI. Se examinan por separados los cuatros apartados del artículo 319 del CP. En el primero se estudia la forma agravada, y en el segundo de los apartados, la forma básica sobre los atentados que se cometan al bien jurídico protegido ordenación racional del territorio. Se hace un análisis a los sujetos activos que son los mismos para los dos apartados (promotores, constructores y técnicos directores); también se tratan las conductas típicas sobre las obras de urbanización, construcción y edificación; así como las consecuencias jurídicas que son de tres tipos, prisión, multa e inhabilitación especial para la profesión u oficio. En el apartado tercero del artículo 319 se trata la orden de demolición de lo construido o edificado contra la ordenación del territorio, que tras la reforma del Código Penal mediante la LO 5/2010, se ha ampliado el alcance de la demolición, a la orden también de reposición a su estado originario de la realidad física alterada. Como novedad también de la reforma del nuestro texto punitivo por LO 5/2010, resulta la necesidad de acudir en estos tipos de delitos a la institución del comiso que había sido propugnado por una parte de la doctrina penal para su adaptación a la normativa europea, concretamente a la Decisión Marco 2005/212/JAI. También con esta reforma se introduce por primera vez en el sistema penal de nuestro país, la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas en detrimento del principio societas delinquere non potest, que hacía imposible la imputación de los delitos a las sociedades mercantiles investidas con personalidad jurídica.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen recoge, actualizadas, una parte importante de las comunicaciones presentadas en el II y III Encuentro de jóvenes investigadores en derecho de inmigración y asilo celebrados en Barcelona y Girona, respectivamente. La diversidad de aportaciones a los Encuentros tiene una entidad y coherencia propias que reflejan el amplio espectro de investigaciones en marcha, y que la distinguen de otras obras de carácter más sistemático sobre este ámbito del Derecho. Con esta perspectiva, el primer apartado recoge, bajo el título de “Cuestiones de extranjería en el derecho comunitario y en el derecho interno”, diversas aportaciones de ámbito transversal y genérico, que dan paso a un análisis individualizado de derechos concretos y de sus limitaciones en un segundo apartado dedicado a la normativa española, englobado bajo el título de “Acerca de los derechos y libertades de las personas extranjeras”; el tercer apartado del volumen recoge las comunicaciones directamente relacionadas con el derecho de asilo, que por su propia entidad merecen un tratamiento específico. Como corolario se recogen los informes de la situación de la inmigración y el asilo en Irlanda, Rumanía y Alemania en los dos últimos años. \n\n
